Propositions 10 repeal existing street railway
charters in the District and 10 grant franchise to
q cable road bring the whole subject of street
railway transportation In the city before Congress
There are some suggestions In the traction bill,
now pending, which commend themselves as
proper to be applied to the entire existing street
railway system OF Washington. Every car is to
have conductor. This rule should be enforced In
respect 10 the other roads. The day OF the bobtal
car, drawn by lone, lorn mule, is past. No one
should be compelled to work his passage and pay
for Ii. too. Every passenger is TO have seat. The
cable road ITSELF IL established, will probably re-
Iieve TO some extent the damned and Overfow1ng
condition OF the ears along one or two OF the buSf
ness streets especially along the avenue, and will
thus practically bring home TO the other roads this
rule 10 which IL is subjected. The public will
oyercruwd street cars In spite OF legislation where
the facilities for comfortable transportation are
Insufficient GrOoyed rails are to be used. No
other Kind should be permitted to dishgure the
city on the existing roads. The evils OF the pres
ent I rail have been frequently described
by The STAR bill Is pending in New YORK
TO compel the city companies to remove their
present tracks and substitute the groOved rail
The New York World points out that this change
would be an important step towards cleaner
streets and better pavements, and great advan-
tage to all who drive vehicles OF any description,
TO the truckman as well as to the pleasure driver,
for whose benefit, 1t has been suggested, the
change Is intended. In city like washington,
where few but light vehicles are driven, there is
not the same necessity TO show that jams are
caused and aggravated to truckmen and teamsters
by the present rails. The nuisance and danger TO
light vehicles are generally conceded. In London
and Paris the car companies have been compelled
TO use an unobjectionable rail The example ofthese
cities may be commended to Washington and to
Congress-

Texas Drouth Exaggerated.

-
Miss Clara Barton, President of the
Red Cross Society, who recently visited
the drouth-stricken districts Of Texas
along with DR.. Hubbell, the Field Agent
of the society, found in the course of her
trip evidences of a good deal of suffer-
ing, Encouragement, and want, but
nothing approaching actual starvation.
She agreed with the press that Texas
was large and rich enough State to
care for the suffering of it's own people,
and that it was mistake to have taken
the sectional trouble outside the. State
for aid. Miss Barton took occasion to
point out that the SIG, 600 appropriated
by the State Legislature was for food
alone, and showed the necessity for
gifts of seed wheat, oats. millet, and
cotton seed. The hint was warmly
taken up by the Dallas News and other
papers which offered to receive contri-
buttons of seed and turn them over to
any duly constituted authority for dis
tribution. Miss Barton s Investigations
were minute and comprehensive and
convinced her that there was no ne
cessity for any aid from the Red Cross
Society Miss Barton thinks that the
action Of the President in vetoing the
81, 900 appropriation BY Congress for
seed was an instance OF sound states
manship and timely precaution, and
thoroughly approves Of it.

If This was the last day Of the Legislative
session though in reality yesterday was the
last working day. AL bills must be signed
by the officers of the Senate and House be-
fore the session closes and the object of the
session on this closing day is to give the
enrolling clerks time to complete their
work and have the bills signed by the
officers. There is really no business that can
be done ON this closing day and accordingly
the time while they are waiting is given up
to presentations, amusements, burlesQue
resolutions and social intercourse among
the members. Today was no excep-
ton to the rule. The Senate which
is usually little more circumsIect than
the House was fully as boisterous as the
junior branch. Members were packing
up their papers and documents and many
Of the documents were flying about the
heads of the Senators. A handsome frame
containing portraits of all the Senators was
presented to Lieut.. Gov. Rice together with
a gold headed cane. A gold headed cane
